NBC's Today – aired December 22, 2015 – Jeff Hobson and Adam Trent performed during the 8:30am half-hour.[15]
The Ellen DeGeneres Show – aired March 14, 2016 – Adam Trent performed two illusions in studio including a trick using a blender and guest DJ's Stephen "tWitch" Boss' iPhone.[16] In another illusion, audience members were chosen at random to pick a lottery number at random. The resulting group of numbers matched those listed on a Powerball ticket allegedly purchased by Trent months prior.[17]
